(Special to the Reporter-Herald)

The U.S. Postal Service and Loveland Chamber of Commerce are teaming up once again to send cards and letters around the world with a Loveland postmark.

The design was created by local artists and writers and selected through a competitive contest. Read that story here. The design is stamped on the outside of all Valentine envelopes and remailed from the Sweetheart City.

Since the start of the program in 1947, more than 12 million Valentines have been remailed through Loveland.

To have cards and letters remailed with the Loveland postmark, properly stamp and address each individual valentine and put them all in a larger, stamped envelope.

Mail them to:

PostmasterValentine Re-mailing446 E. 29th St.Loveland, CO 80538

These are the deadlines for remailing and delivery by Valentine's Day, Feb. 14:

Cards destined for outside of the U.S. to other countries and international destinations should be in Loveland by Feb. 4.

Mail destined for cities within the U.S. and outside of Colorado should be in Loveland by Feb. 9.

Cards mailed to addresses within Colorado should be in Loveland by Feb. 11.

Colorado residents can drop off pre-stamped valentine envelopes at King Soopers and City Market stores which have Loveland Valentine remailing boxes, at area Loveland locations with valentine boxes, and in the red valentine mailboxes located in the lobby at both Loveland Post Offices.
